Hello there! If you're like me, you dream about those children's room shelf you see on Pinterest. You are in luck! This guide is going to help you with some ideas on how to style your children's room shelf and get that Nordic and whimsical look.

Shelves are not only functional, keeping everything tidy but also are used as a decoration element.

Shelves

There lot of options out there, my preference is to go with a simple and minimalistic design since you will be using a lot of elements to decorate them. I have used FLISAT Wall storage from IKEA UK.

Decorative elements

Books

Children's books are both functional and a distinctive decoration element. Choose beautiful illustrated covers and colors. You can choose books in a color palette that coordinates with the room decoration and colors and display them like a small art wall. By doing this, you will not only have a beautiful shelf, but you have the books handy for a bedtime story!

Art Prints

If you are going for a more artistic option, art prints are a great option. Select a theme for your little wall art galleries, like forest creatures or magical characters like unicorns and fairies. I chooe a Dinosaur for the one below. Use beautiful frames that best showcase the art prints, you can choose pastel or neutral color for the frames making everything more cohesive. Use the shelves to display the framed art prints, so no need for nails.

Garlands

Use felt pompom, fabric bunting garland, or even nice paper garland. Hang them under the shelf.

Wooden shapes or Toys

Wooden toys have become very popular, and in most of the children's rooms you will find on Pinterest the one. There is always a wooden piece like wood pegs characters, wooden shapes. Also, wooden beads strings, similar to the garland you can hang them on the bottom of the shelves.

Make sure that if you have small children in the room, keep it out their reach.

Small plushie

Never lose their favorite cuddle toy again by having a special place on the wall shelf when it is not being used. Not only serve as a decorative element, but you are keeping everything organized, a win-win!

Using a small plushie or stuff toy or a small decorative pillow gives a cozy vibe to any room.
